DAZN 10/30: Chantelle Cameron vs Mary McGee - WBC/IBF 140 unification (Whyte-Wallin OFF)

[Scottie Drippin]

This is such a shameless duck

Even if it's a duck I can't hold it against Whyte.

He's been waiting for a shot for years. Let him have his shot. He probably looked at what happened to AJ and had flashbacks of Povetkin putting him to sleep then felt it wasn't worth the risk

He's ducked and pulled out of multiple title eliminators, that's on him for not getting his shot. Here he is doing it yet again, WBC should say nah fukk that, reschedule the fight.

Seems like Whyte was legit injured as went to a specialist and have medical confirmation from the doctor who spoke about the injury.

People have been doing the SAME EXACT shyt to him for a great portion of his career and HE's missed out on deserved chances that way. If its a duck move, hes only doing what everyone did to him.

Now he's finally got a potential chance for the mandatory he's always wanted, I dont blame him for wanting to lock that up.

As a boxing fan i want to see him against Wallin too obviously and I wouldn't be mad if they forced him to reschedule. But all things considered i cannot be mad at him playing by everyone else's rules to get what he wants.

Wallin needs to stay busy. Had a decent outing vs Fury way back when ...

No he's just doing what he's always been doing, pulling out of fights or turning down eliminators, spare me the pity party. Dude has turned down WBC eliminators vs both Breazeale and Luis Ortis, and an IBF eliminator vs Pulev, all 3 guys went on to fight for titles. If he agreed to any of those eliminators, he would have got his title shot.

 

[Amor fati]

This lycan is second to none with regards to ducking.

Dillian Whyte Likely To Pursue Tyson Fury Title Fight Next, Says Hearn
BY MANOUK AKOPYAN
Published Fri Oct 22, 2021, 08:55 PM EDT
Dillian Whyte suffered a reported shoulder injury the week of Oct. 11 during training and was forced to officially pull out of his interim WBC heavyweight title defense against Otto Wallin on Oct. 20, eleven days after WBC champion Tyson Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder.
Whyte is the WBC mandatory challenger to Fury’s belt, and the timing of the injury announcement has raised some eyebrows.
While Whyte promoter and Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn tried to clear the air around the speculation of Whyte’s injury, he insisted that his preference is for Whyte to skip a Wallin fight altogether and go straight to Fury.
Fury co-promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com’s Keith Idec on Friday that he’d welcome a Fury vs. Whyte fight. The WBC has since ruled that it’s not requiring Whyte to reschedule his fight with Wallin because the bout was considered a voluntary defense of an interim championship.
Hearn said Whyte’s DAZN-headlining fight against Wallin had already sold 11,000 tickets for The O2 in London and cancelling the fight forced a huge financial hit. Hearn also tried to salvage the main event and offered Wallin a replacement opponent in Alen Babic, but the Swedish southpaw declined.
“I would think Dillian Whyte’s next fight will be Tyson Fury, but we’ll have to see. I’m not ruling out the Otto Wallin fight, that’s a fight that’s at our discretion to reschedule," Hearn told IFL TV. “We may look to reschedule the fight or we may look to give Otto Wallin another fight. It is not our responsibility, but we want to be fair at the same time. Unfortunately, when they come out with these accusations, it doesn't really make you want to help out with the process because they are unfounded. But I understand his frustration … Dillian should be back early next year, hopefully against Tyson Fury.”
Wallin said in a press conference Friday that he wants proof of Whyte’s shoulder injury from Whyte’s doctor and an independent physician.
“I don’t know if Dillian is injured or not, but we just wanna know that we have all the facts,” said Wallin. “And so far, we haven’t got any facts at all. There’s been just a statement saying that he’s injured, he had a doctor look at it, but nothing more than that. And so, we wanna find out the facts and see if he’s injured... And I feel like that’ll be very important. But so far, there’s been no effort on their end to help us with that. So, we wanna find that out and then make sure this fight gets rescheduled.”
Hearn offered his rebuttal aiming to crush Wallin’s claims.
"If we would have [faked an injury], we would have done that three weeks ago [when Fury beat Wilder]. There is no value. Dillian Whyte has been paying sparring partners in Portugal. He's got a full time camp running with his team,” said Hearn.
“We all talked about the news [of Fury's win]. It was never discussed we should pull out. But obviously people are saying 'why would you fight Otto Wallin when you can fight Tyson Fury?' Dillian Whyte made the decision to move forward with the fight. He was never going to pull out of the fight. He's been training since April and May for this fight. He was going to make a lot of money for this fight. It's a fight he believes he can win. He doesn't want to go into the Tyson Fury fight with just the last Alexander Povetkin fight. He wants to get the activity. So that's not the case at all. This pull out hurts everybody.”
